JUDITH HUMPHREYFOUNDER

Judith is the Founder of The Humphrey Group. In 1988 she launched The Humphrey Group as the first Canadian firm to focus on teaching top executives to be effective speakers.

And her pioneering Taking the Stage program continues to help women around the world take on leadership.
